[QUOTE="Sideburnt, post: 743558, member: 74515"] What are you eating for dinner and when? if you're eating too late with a high carb dinner, and just before you go to bed it could be that you're spiking (which is what you're seeing in your numbers before bed) and then your bolus is bringing your numbers down. I'd suggest, keeping your basal at 50%. eat a low carb dinner and take as little bolus as possible. Go to bed at a somewhat safe but high number and see what you wake up as. Whenever I get problems like these, I break one big confusing mess of a problem into small problems and deal/test them one by one. It's always basal, bolus or how many carbs I've dosed for. The problem you've got is you're correcting for that during the day but you're asleep and unable to see what happens in the 8 or so hours. You can also borrow a CGM from the diabetic team so you can see EXACTLY what's going on and use the diabetic teams knowledge to help you get safe overnight. Don't be afraid to ask for help. [/QUOTE]
